I think the commenter above who said a good head coach would have squeezed perhaps 6 points more out of this roster had it about right. We won a lot of games this year on Price's back and little else. We would still have won those games with a good coach; Price just wouldn't have had to steal them. Cunneyworth's floor might have been about 90-94 points with this roster, if you give him the same performance from Price.

I think Therrien is a mediocre coach at best, a horrific coach at worst, who made the right decisions for the Tampa series. We did, in retrospect, severely outmatch the Bolts, who had a horrid defence and shaky goaltending. Our next opponent will not. We'll see how Therrien does.
